Earlier today, Deaten Registe produced a solid effort in the morning session, finishing fifth in his SB14 100m Breaststroke heat.
Registe’s time of 1:09.35 saw him narrowly miss out on automatic qualification for the final, for which he is now the second reserve.
Speaking after his heat, Registe said: “It wasn’t the race I was hoping for but I gave it my all. Maybe went out a bit too fast at the start of the race, could have had a more controlled race overall.”
Barry McClements, meanwhile, swam a 1:03.29 in his S9 100m Butterfly heat, finishing seventh and falling short of a place in the final.
McClements expressed his frustration with his performance afterwards, describing himself as “not too happy with the race at all”.
“I’m two seconds off my PB and not close enough to a final. It’s disappointing,” added McClements, who will return in the S9 100m Backstroke on Friday.
